HOW-TO GUIDE

Leaders of marketing departments are charged with increasing the knowledge and skills of their
team, but many do not have a plan for educating and developing their staff. Use this summary
to identify which skills you have, and what strategies you can deploy to engage your team and
expand their strategic & tactical skills.

Don't miss our Marketing Skills Matrix which outlines simple, developing, and advanced tactical
and strategic marketing skills required for marketing executives.

What are Key Team Building Exercises?

Read & Discuss a Book – Consider assigning some proactive reading to get your team on the
same page when it comes to marketing strategies and best practices. We highly recommend
High Performance Marketing.

Attend Industry Conferences – Doing some business traveling is a great method for getting to
know your staff on a more personal level. If you do not have any tradeshows or industry confer-
ences in the near future, consider attending a Pragmatic Marketing or Demand Generation
training course or workshop provided by Demand Metric.

Build Personal Development Plans – Use our Performance Review Template to create a
personal development plan for each of your staff. Work to develop star performers and experts
in each key marketing competency.

Create a Steering Committee – Invite your top performer to join you at Steering Committee
meetings to provide insights to your senior executives.
